French term
subroger
French to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
"X demeure libre de céder à un tiers tout ou partie des droits et obligations résultants du présent contrat * et de l'y subroger * sous quelque forme et à quelque titre que ce soit."
I've broken this down where "l apostrophe" is the third party, "y" is the contract and subroger = to subsititue. But I don't understand the actual meaning.
Many thanks for your help.

subrogate
definition of subrogate - Take over a legal claim or right against a third party from another party who previously owned that right or claim.

So it means that the original party to the contract can have another party perform its own duties under any contractual arrangement it chooses: it can withdraw totally from the operation; it can remain in charge but subcontract the work, etc.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Yolanda for making this clear - I saw "assign" and "subrogate" in the glossary and the distinction wasn't clear. |
Discussion
I believe "céder" is assign rights in which case "subroger" would be subrogate. Is that correct?
2) Bourth's answer gave me the explanation I needed hence early closing of my question
